DETAILS

SCRANTON — A grand jury
in Scranton on Tuesday indicted
a Wilkes-Barre man on a fed-
eral drug charge, with authorities
alleging he dealt drugs out of a
Kingston hotel.
James King, 47, of South Street,
was indicted on a charge of pos-

of Pennsylvania announced on
Wednesday.
According to U.S. Attorney
Peter J. Smith, King was arrested
in April 2013 in connection with
a drug sale in Kingston during
an investigation conducted by
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives and the
Luzerne County Drug Task Force.

Raging fire strikes at heart of Sandy-hit NJ town

BRUCE SHIPKOWSKI
and WAYNE PARRY
Associated Press
SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — A massive fire
spitting fist-sized embers engulfed dozens
of businesses along an iconic Jersey shore
boardwalk Thursday, as workers racing
to contain the blaze’s advance ripped up
stretches of walkway only recently replaced
in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
That last-ditch effort to save the heart
of the town’s tourism business — and its
very economic survival — appeared to
have worked. Two hours after public works
crews ripped out a 25-foot swath of board-
walk that had been hurriedly rebuilt for a
visit to Seaside Heights by Prince Harry in
May, the flames had not advanced past the
break.
Heavy equipment filled the breach with
tall walls of sand to form makeshift dunes
holding back not waves but fire.
“So far, so good,” said Robert Matthies,
the mayor of neighboring Seaside Park,
where the blaze began around 2:30 p.m.
The blaze remained out of control as of
8:30 p.m. but firefighters reported some
progress in containing it.
The 6-alarm blaze began in a frozen cus-
tard stand on the Seaside Park portion of
the boardwalk and fanned by 15-20 mph
winds from an approaching storm system,
quickly spread north into Seaside Heights,
the boardwalk town where the MTV series
“Jersey Shore” was filmed — and where the
October storm famously plunged a roller
coast into the ocean.
No serious injuries were reported, but
the blaze destroyed all 32 businesses on
the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk,
borough Councilwoman Nancy Koury told
The Associated Press. An undetermined
number of additional boardwalk businesses
in Seaside Heights also were burned.
The fire burned eight blocks: four on
either side of the two towns’ border,
Matthies said.
“We’re going to be here for several days,”
one firefighter said as he rushed toward the
flames. A line of powerful thunderstorms
that battered part of New Jersey swung
north of Seaside Park, offering no help to
some 400 firefighters battling the flames.
The livelihoods of the two popular Jersey
shore resort communities depend on sum-
mer tourism and they had just spent mil-
lions of dollars rebuilding their boardwalks,
arcade games, pizza stands and bar and
grills to be ready for the summer season.
“It’s devastating; I’ve been crying all
afternoon,” said Shirley Kreszl, who has
rented a summer home in Seaside Park for
decades. “Haven’t we been hit enough? We
try to rebuild and just when we think we
saved a little bit of our town, this happens.
It’s just not fair.”
Gov. Chris Christie, who raced to the fire
scene, was typically blunt describing his
thoughts as he approached the blaze.
“I feel like I want to throw up,” he said.
Koury said the fire caused several million
dollars’ worth of damage. At one point, she
said, flames jumped across Ocean Avenue,
the oceanfront street, and ignited two or
three small houses but firefighters quickly
doused them. A motel near the boardwalk
also was engulfed in flames.
For hours, two boardwalk businesses,
an arcade and the popular Saw Mill Cafe,
escaped the flames. But shortly before
7 p.m. the arcade was engulfed in a huge
orange fireball that rolled into the darken-
ing sky, and flames licked against the side
of the Saw Mill; it could not immediately
be determined how badly damaged the cafe
was.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Koury
said as she watched the flames devour
boardwalk structures. “Our small business
people went through so much in the storm
to get ready for summer and stay open all
summer, and now it’s all gone. I just can’t
believe it.”
Officials said the fire got underneath the
boardwalk, making it even more difficult to
extinguish.
“It’s underneath the boards, and its com-
ing up through the cracks,” Koury said. “It’s
making it harder to get water on it.”
Matthies said the businesses were pri-
marily wood with tar roofs and shingles,
which accelerated the fire.
In Seaside Heights, real estate agent
Michael Loundy, who works with the
borough on tourism related projects, was
pained as he watched firefighters make
a stand against the flames on DuPont
Avenue, several blocks from the Seaside
Park border.
“It’s raging,” he said “It is absolutely rag-
ing. The wind is blowing something fierce,
making it very difficult for firefighters to
fight.”

WILKES-BARRE — A Luzerne
County senior judge ruled
Thursday that a mental infirmi-
ty defense request made by the
attorneys of a woman charged
in a deadly 2008 hit-and-run was
filed in timely fashion.
But, the mental infirmity
request of Megan Panowicz, of
Forty Fort, won’t go to a jury yet.
Defense attorneys still have to
address a request by prosecutors
to have the defense thrown out
because it is “improper” — mean-
ing a scheduled Sept. 23 trial
has been postponed until at least
December.
Panowicz, 28, is charged in
the August 2008 death of Sharon
Shaughnessy, who was killed on
Wyoming Avenue in Kingston
when she was reportedly struck
by three vehicles.
Senior Judge Charles Brown
ruled Thursday that Panowicz’s
attorneys — her father, Robert
Panowicz, and Basil Russin —
filed the defense in enough time
and that he would not preclude
Panowicz from presenting the
defense out of “fairness and jus-
tice.”
Pete G. Wilcox | The Times Leader
Brown scheduled a hearing
for Sept. 23 to hear attorneys’
arguments on Deputy Attorney
General Clarke Madden’s request
that the defense is “improper”
and not legal at this point in the
case.
Brown also continued the Sept.
23 trial date to begin with jury
selection on Dec. 3. Brown said
the “particular, and unusual, cir-
cumstances of the case” led him
to his decision.
Panowicz previously had
sought to use other defense meth-

Kingston
Twp. hears
complaints
about bar
GERI GIBBONS
Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON TWP.
— Resident Pat Devitt
addressed township super-
visors on Wednesday night
with complaints about the
Checkerboard Bar, which
he said was located directly
across the street from his
home.
Devitt, of Carverton Road,
said it was necessary to effec-
tively abandon his home on
Friday and Saturday nights
because the bar’s noise “pen-
etrates my home.” He said
the area was zoned as resi-
dential.
“I believe several township
regulations preclude this
type of activity which inter-
feres with the quiet reason-
able enjoyment of my home,”
he said.
Devitt and his wife shared
an audio tape that they said
reflected a high level of noise
coming from the bar.
“You are now responsible
for what happens on upcom-
ing weekends,” he said.
Police Chief Jim Balavage
said he was aware the bar
had previously been cited
for excessive noise by the
Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board.
“We will have our adminis-
trative staff look into this and
report back to the board,”
said member Jim Reino.
In another matter, the
board approved the renewal
of PennDOT’s winter servic-
es agreement in anticipation
of upcoming weather events.
The board also approved
the installation of two GPS
units, facilitating traffic
flow in the township by
PennDOT. The township
will absorb 20 percent of the
cost the project, or $900.
The board approved the
purchase of nine computers
for the administration and
police department at a cost of
$6,024. Township Manager
Kathleen Sebastian said the
items were budgeted.
The board took a moment
to commemorate the 12th
anniversary of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks.
The next meeting of the
board will be on Oct. 9 at
7:30 p.m.

Zoo says mauling
was mom’s fault
The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
says the mother of a 2-year-old boy who
was fatally mauled when he fell into a
wild African dogs exhibit is to blame for
her son’s death and shouldn’t be allowed
to sue.
The zoo’s attorneys made that argu-
ment in a response filed this week to
the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by
Jason and Elizabeth Derkosh, whose son,
Maddox, died Nov. 4 after falling over a
4-foot-tall wooden railing into the exhibit
when his mother lifted him up to get a
better look.
The parents’ attorney, Robert
Mongeluzzi, said the zoo “failed miser-
ably in their solemn responsibility to pre-
vent the attack” and has “now shameless-
ly attacked Maddox’s grieving mother.
We look forward to exposing their reck-
less conduct, in discovery, and at trial.”
Allegheny County District Attorney
Stephen A. Zappala Jr. investigated
the boy’s death and deemed it a “tragic
accident,” deciding not to prosecute his
mother or zoo officials on endangerment
or other charges.

Girl kills herself

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said
that Rebecca Ann Sedwick jumped to
her death on Monday at an old cement

Tampa and Orlando. Investigators say
the girl was despondent after others had
posted hate messages about her online.
The Lakeland Ledger reported detec-

MARK PRATT
and BRIDGET MURPHY
Associated Press
BOSTON — Wounded vet-
erans and Boston Marathon
bombing survivors met
Thursday in Boston to share
their stories of strength and
resilience.
Marc Fucarile, who lost his
leg in the marathon bombings,
said he was inspired by the vet-
erans’ stories and honored to
meet them. “They knew what
they were risking when they
signed up, and that’s amazing
to me,” the 34-year-old from
Stoneham said.
A dozen military veterans
who have undergone amputa-
tions gathered at a Boston hotel
to meet 11 marathon amputees
as part of an effort by a Chicago-
area nonprofit called Operation
Warrior Wishes. They planned
to go together Thursday night
to the New England Patriots’
home season opener against
the New York Jets.
“I have never met a stronger
group than the wounded war-
riors and the victims of the
marathon bombing,” Mayor
Tom Menino said. “They are
the most courageous and resil-
ient folks we have.”
Chris Claude, a 33-year-old
Marine Corps veteran who
lives in Blakeslee, Pa., said
meeting with marathon ampu-
tees would be his chance to
provide the kind of support he
got after the amputation of his
right leg above the knee after
a 2005 bomb blast in Iraq. He
also likes the idea of the ampu-
tees coming out on the field
together.
“It’s another way for people
in the crowd to see the human
spirit can’t be broken,” he said.
Veteran Michael Fox of San
Diego, a 28-year-old who lost
both legs when he stepped on
an improvised explosive device
in Afghanistan in November
2011, said the veterans and
marathon victims are like-
minded people in similar situ-
ations.
“You have to keep a sense of
humor,” he said. “It keeps your
morale up and helps keep you
going. If we can give them any
inspiration, it’s a bonus.”
The founders of Operation
Warrior Wishes, Craig
Steichen, 55, and his son Matt,
29, went on a quest last year to
bring wounded vets to football
games at 32 NFL stadiums in
17 weeks. Craig Steichen said
they met their goal, and even
picked up a world record in the
meantime for game attendance.
But with the Patriots game
Thursday, Steichen said, the
nonprofit was interested in not
only bringing wounded vets,
but also getting them together
with marathon amputees.
Mery Daniel, a 31-year-old
medical school graduate who
lost part of her left leg in the
marathon bombings, said that
while marathon amputees
didn’t enlist to fight a war, they
were exposed to the same kind
of violence.
“We share now a common
bond,” said Daniel, who lives in
Boston. “We share similar sto-

2007.
Since June 2009, one of the
largest gains occurred in a mea-
sure of education and health
services jobs. That category
added nearly 1.6 million jobs,
second most of any industry.
And women gained nearly 1.1
million of those jobs.
Women have made big gains
in professional and business
services, a grab-bag category
that includes architects, engi-
neers, information technol-
ogy workers and temps. Women
also make up more than half of
the workforce in hotels and res-
taurants, which has posted the
third-largest gain of any indus-
try.
Despite the job gains, the per-
centage of women working or
looking for work has been drop-
ping, just as it has for men. The
so-called labor force participa-
tion rate for women was 57.3
last month, down from 59.4
percent in December 2007. For
men, the participation rate has
dropped to 69.5 percent, from
73.1 percent.
Both men and women have
been retiring, enrolling in
school, registering for Social
Security disability payments
and just giving up on a weak
job market.

Searches of W-B homes lead to 2 drug arrests

STEVE MOCARSKY
smocarsky@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE — Two
city men were arrested and
drugs, weapons and cash were
seized Wednesday morning
after multiple law enforce-
ment agencies converged on
two homes in the city with
drug trafficking search war-
rants.
Arrested were Patrick
Miller, 25, of Carlisle Street,
and Junior Comas, 28, of Coal
Street.
Members of the Wilkes-
Barre Police Drug Task
Force, Wilkes-Barre Police
Anti Crime Unit, state police
Troop P Vice Unit and the
Comas Miller
state Attorney General’s
Office Bureau of Narcotics
Investigation executed the
warrants at 216 Carlisle St.,
Apartment 2, at about 6:30
a.m., and 145 N. Sherman
St., Apartment 103, at about
7 a.m.
According to court papers:
• Officers detained Miller
at the Carlisle Street apart-
ment and seized suspected
crack cocaine, a digital scale,
packaging materials, three
televisions and more than
$28,000 in currency. At the
Sherman Street apartment
in Interfaith heights, police
found two loaded pistols.
• Officers learned that
Lateesha Lundy, the renter
of the Sherman Street apart-
ment, was in the hospital. In
an interview, she told police
Miller had been her boyfriend
for four years, and she would
help him make money by sell-
ing drugs for him. She said
she would argue with him
about keeping guns at her
apartment because she has
children. He kept the guns
there because he was on pro-
bation and his apartment was
subject to search, Lundy told
police.
• Using wiretaps, investi-
gators learned a confidential
informant set up drug buys
from Miller on Sept. 3 and
9. Allegedly at Miller’s direc-
tion, Lundy and Comas alleg-
edly provided crack cocaine to
the informant at the Sherman
Street apartment and at 292
Coal St., Apartment 111.
• Police found Comas at the
Coal Street apartment short-
ly after the search warrants
were served on Sherman and
Carlisle streets. When officers
knocked on the front door
and identified themselves,
they heard a toilet flushing
multiple times. Comas and
the owner, Sophia Griffin,
eventually answered the door
and gave police permission
to search the apartment, in
which they found $2,245 in
cash and a business card for a
federal probation officer, who
advised them that Comas is
on federal supervised release.
Miller was charged in three
separate complaints with pos-
session with intent to deliver
a controlled substance, unau-
thorized possession of fire-
arms, and two counts each of
criminal conspiracy and crim-
inal use of a communications
facility.
Comas was charged with
possession with intent to
deliver a controlled substance
and criminal conspiracy.
Both were arraigned
Wednesday night before
District Judge Ronald Swank
in Mountain Top. Miller’s
bail was set at $25,000 for
each complaint for a total of
$75,000. Comas’ bail was set
at $25,000. Both were jailed at
the county prison.
Miller’s preliminary hearing
is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept.
17 before District Judge Rick
Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre.
Comas’ is scheduled for 10
a.m. Sept. 19 before District
Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-
Barre.

Gartley continued
Caravella’s sentencing hear-

The elder Fann allegedly
violated two prongs of his

Pennsylvania and had unsu-

according to the probation vio-
lation filed Tuesday. Fann went
to New Jersey for the weekend

Pa.judge orders halt to same-sex marriage licenses

It was not immediately clear what the decision will mean for the 174 couples who obtained licenses
MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG — A
Pennsylvania judge on
Thursday ordered a sub-
urban Philadelphia court
clerk to stop issuing mar-
riage licenses to same-sex
couples, and the clerk said
he would comply but is
considering an appeal.
Commonwealth Court
Judge Dan Pellegrini said
Montgomery County
Register of Wills D. Bruce
Hanes did not have the
power to decide on his own
whether Pennsylvania’s
same-sex marriage ban
violates the state constitu-
tion.
“Unless and until either
the General Assembly
repeals or suspends the
Marriage Law provisions
or a court of competent
jurisdiction orders that the
law is not to be obeyed or
enforced, the Marriage
Law in its entirety is to be
obeyed and enforced by all
commonwealth public offi-
cials,” Pellegrini wrote.
Hanes said he was disap-
pointed.
“The decision to issue a
marriage license was not
made in haste, and what
we’re going to do next,
based on this decision from
the court, will not be made
in haste,” Hanes said.
It was not immediately
clear what the decision will
mean for the 174 couples
who obtained licenses.
The state Health
Department under
Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett took Hanes to
court after he began issu-
ing licenses to same-sex
couples in July, despite a
1996 state law that defines
marriage as between a man
and a woman. The depart-
ment argued that Hanes’
actions could create chaos.
James Schultz, Corbett’s
general counsel, issued a
statement saying the key
issue was whether local
officials can decide which
laws to uphold or reject,
based on their personal
legal opinion.
“We respect the inter-
ests and dignity of all
the parties involved in
this case, but we are a
government of laws and
it is important that all
office holders across the
state enforce those laws
uniformly,” Schultz said.
A separate challenge to
Pennsylvania’s same-sex
marriage ban is pending in
federal court.
Robert Heim, a lawyer
for some of the same-sex
couples who obtained
licenses from Hanes, noted
that Pellegrini said the
legality of the licenses was
not an issue before him.
“The 32 couples that I
represent are going to have
to decide whether they
also want to litigate it in
the Commonwealth Court,
since Judge Pellegrini vir-
tually invited it,” Heim
said.

Suspended police chief Former Old Forge chief

to seek election as sheriff
The Associated Press
GILBERTON — A Northeastern
Pennsylvania police chief suspended
for posting videos in which he fired
borough-owned automatic weapons
while shouting obscenities is mount-
ing a write-in candidacy for sheriff.
Gilberton Chief Mark Kessler
announced his candidacy for
Schuylkill County sheriff via social
media. He says on his Facebook page
that he’s running to break the “death
grip of career politicians” on both
sides of the aisle.
Kessler’s pro-gun videos have
garnered hundreds of thousands of
views online. They show him shout-
ing about the Second Amendment
and liberals while spraying machine-
gun fire.
Borough council said he didn’t
have the borough’s permission to
use the weapons and suspended him
indefinitely.
Kessler’s disciplinary hearing is
scheduled for next week. He has said
he expects to be fired.
pleads guilty in teen assault
TheAssociated Press
OLD FORGE — A former bor-
ough police captain accused of sexu-
ally assaulting a teenage girl has
pleaded guilty to one count of misde-
meanor indecent assault.
Jamie Krenitsky agreed to the
plea deal Thursday. Krenitsky was
suspended as captain of the Old
Forge Police Department after being
charged last year with two other men.
He resigned last week in advance of
his court appearance.
Krenitsky and Old Forge Police
Chief Larry Semenza were charged
with sexually assaulting the girl
beginning in 2004 when she a
15-year-old junior firefighter.
Semenza is scheduled to go on
trial in October on charges of unlaw-
ful contact with a minor, indecent
exposure and corruption of a minor.
Former borough
firefighter Walter Chiavacci,
also accused of sexually
abusing the girl, pleaded guilty to
indecent assault in December.

OTHER OPINION: CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Diplomacy in Syria
is risky but prudent
When President Obama asked
Congress to authorize a military
attack against Syria, he said the
goal was to “hold the Assad regime
accountable for their use of chemical
weapons, deter this kind of behavior
and degrade their capacity to carry it
out.”
Can the same objectives be accom-
plished through diplomacy? In his
address to the nation Tuesday, Obama
announced that he would pursue that
possibility, even as he reserved the
option of military action. That was
the right call, but the diplomatic track
must not be allowed to become a long
and winding road to nowhere.
What’s under discussion is a Russian
proposal for “international control” of
Syria’s chemical weapons and their
“subsequent destruction.” It was
broached by Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov after Secretary of State
John F. Kerry suggested that Assad
might avert U.S. military action by
turning over “every single bit of his
chemical weapons to the international
community in the next week.” Kerry
added: “But he isn’t about to do it,
and it can’t be done, obviously.” Then
Syrian officials endorsed the idea and
even suggested Syria would sign the
Chemical Weapons Convention.
An agreement that would truly put
Syria’s chemical weapons “beyond
use” would be a preferable alterna-
tive to military action. It would reaf-
firm the international condemnation
of chemical warfare and might prove
just as successful as airstrikes in pre-
venting future atrocities by the Assad
government. It might even have a
deterrent effect on other nations con-
OTHER OPINION: CLEAN ENERGY AND SAFETY
Solar panels change
fire-fighting tactics
The battle against the 11-alarm fire
that ravaged a Dietz & Watson ware-
house in Delanco last week was ham-
pered by the building’s 7,000 solar
panels. Fire Chief Ron Holt refused
to allow firefighters on the roof for
fear that they would be electrocuted.
Other fire officials said the chief
made the right decision given that
the panels continue to generate elec-
tricity as long as they’re exposed to
light, and many models lack an emer-
gency switch.
None of that should become an
excuse to bash solar power. The safe
development and use of clean ener-
gy can wean the country off dirty,
climate-changing fuels. But the
blaze in Burlington County can yield
important lessons about fighting
fires in solar-powered buildings.
Such lessons are essential, con-
sidering that more and more homes
and commercial structures are being
fitted with solar panels. The tech-
nology is more widely used in New
Jersey than in any other state besides
California.
The Sept. 1 Dietz & Watson fire
drew responses from 40 fire depart-
ments, took 30 hours to contain
and continued to smolder for days
afterward. Three firefighters were
injured, and the 260,000-square-foot
building was destroyed. The cause
remains undetermined. Dietz &
Watson’s chief executive, Louis J. Eni
Jr., told The Inquirer this week that
employees had been working to make
up for two weeks’ worth of lost meats
and cheeses.
Experts on fire safety and solar
energy say a combination of better
firefighter training and improved

sidering the use of nonconventional
weapons.
But will it work? Kerry has said
that the United States seeks a “full
resolution” of the U.N. Security
Council, an apparent reference to a
so-called Chapter 7 resolution that
would authorize member states to use
military force to implement it. So far
Russia, which has veto power on the
council, has resisted that approach.
Even if the council were to approve
a muscular resolution, Assad’s past
mendacity in dealings with U.N. rep-
resentatives raises concerns that he
would obstruct weapons inspectors —
who would be performing their duties
in the midst of a civil war.
Their jobs would not be easy.
Monitors would need some measure
of protection from the wars violence,
and the process of identifying and
destroying the weapons would have to
be verifiable. There would also have to
be serious consequences for noncom-
pliance so that the process wouldn’t
become a farce or a cat-and-mouse
game reminiscent of the long effort to
inspect Saddam Hussein’s supposed
weapons of mass destruction.
Notwithstanding these concerns,
Obama’s decision to explore a diplo-
matic solution is a prudent one. We
continue to believe that the use of
chemical weapons against civilians
requires a response from this country,
ideally in concert with other nations.
But, like the president, we hope that
message can be effectively delivered
other than by military might.
Los Angeles Times
technology can help reduce the
damage from future fires. William
Kramer, New Jersey’s acting fire mar-
shal, is confident that the challenge
can be met, but he said it’s going to
take time, study and technological
progress.
Firefighting has already evolved
from extinguishing blazes in wood-
en structures to today’s efforts in
buildings containing complex materi-
als that emit toxic fumes when ignit-
ed. It can evolve again to handle fires
in buildings with solar arrays and
other green technologies.
New Jersey already requires
anyone installing solar panels to
report their presence to local fire
departments, and some training is
available to help fire departments
deal with the technology. But indus-
try officials say firefighters need to
be trained more thoroughly on the
nuances of solar energy. They have a
point.
The solar industry is also
developing two promising safety
technologies. One stops transmis-
sion of electricity from solar arrays
when power is cut off, though the
solar panels themselves would still
maintain a charge. Another advance
could reduce the voltage in panels to
less dangerous levels.
Once these technologies are reli-
able, buildings with older solar
panels should be retrofitted. And
training for firefighters should be
strengthened. As the Dietz & Watson
fire showed, the cost of such mea-
sures is outweighed by the danger to
lives and property.

COMMENTARY: BILL JONES
Many reasons to give to United Way
Immediately after the conclusion of
last year’s annual United Way campaign
in the Wyoming Valley, the editorial
pages of one of our local newspapers
celebrated the success of the campaign,
stating “cheers” to the donors who con-
tributed to supporting the community.
Under the leadership of Barb
Toczko-Maculloch Sr., vice president
of First Liberty Bank, and a commit-
ted campaign cabinet, the 2013 annual
campaign is well underway — and we
certainly hope the community will once
again “cheer” at its successful conclu-
sion.
Most people recognize the United
Way as a highly accountable and effec-
tive nonprofit fundraising organization.
Each year, millions of dollars are raised
and invested to improve the commu-
nity. Critical needs are being met and
lives are being changed because of the
kindness of our donors.
In celebrating the fundraising suc-
cess of 2012, the newspaper also made
a very powerful point by stating “no
single other charity has the commu-
nity-wide impact of the United Way.”
Indeed!
Last year, more than 53,000 indi-
viduals in our community were served
by the 46 community-based programs
funded by the United Way campaign.
This is up from 42,000 the previous
year and means more than one in six of
us in the Wyoming Valley were assist-
ed in some way by the generosity of
donors who care about our community.
While the United Way touches many
lives in very meaningful ways, our
impact is even greater and reaches
YOUR OPINION: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Broken families
are true problem
Former Secretary of State Colin
Powell called the jury verdict that
acquitted George Zimmerman of kill-
ing Trayvon Martin “questionable.”
I do not recall Powell questioning a
predominately black jury of letting
O.J. Simpson walk free despite over-
whelming evidence of his guilt.
Powell was once considered a pos-
sible Republican presidential can-
didate, and yet he endorsed Barack
Obama in 2008 and 2012. Did the
fact that Obama is black have any-
thing to do with it? I certainly think
so.
Recently, I read in the Philadelphia
Inquirer that the mayor and police
chief in that city, both of whom
are black, said that if a white man
murdered a black man, both Jesse
Jackson and Al Sharpton would be
expressing outrage, and yet they are
silent about the hundreds of blacks
killing blacks.
Those two should concern them-
selves about the dissolution of the
black family, in which 73 percent of
black children reportedly are born
out of wedlock.
With no father figure to guide
them, they are easily led to gangs and
illegal drug activity, 0ften resulting
in violence. Look at all the shootings

also support.
· We staff many of organized labor’s
community service projects and sup-
port other initiatives on behalf of the
community.
· Our Day of Caring is the largest
single volunteer effort every year in
Luzerne County and provides thou-
sands of in-kind service hours to assist
the organizations that serve our com-
munity.
· Through “Get Connected,” our
online volunteer matching program,
we promote the spirit of volunteerism
by making information about volunteer
opportunities more accessible.
In each of the above examples of the
United Way’s impact, and there are
more, the words “we” and “our” are
intentional. The United Way is driven
by and is a reflection of the community
— including donors, volunteers, part-
ner agencies, the labor movement and
all of us who are like-minded in support
of the community. To borrow and para-
phrase a line from Happy Valley, WE
are the United Way.
If the United Way is to have the kind
of wide impact the community needs
and deserves, WE can only be success-
ful if WE are all successful together.
Please consider supporting the 2013
annual campaign and be among those
who care, and for whom, WE will cheer.

meeting with their Russian
counterparts in Geneva,
insisted on a speedier

Assad’s remarks to
Russia’s state Rossiya 24
news channel were his
first since the Russian plan
was announced Monday
as a way to avert a poten-
tial U.S. military strike in
response to the Aug. 21
chemical weapons attack
that killed hundreds near
Damascus.
He said Syria is relin-
quishing control over its
chemical weapons because
of Russia.
“We agreed to put Syria’s
chemical weapons under
international supervision
in response to Russia’s
request and not because of
American threats,” Assad
said.
“In my view, the agree-
ment will begin to take
effect a month after its sign-
ing, and Syria will begin
turning over to internation-
al organizations data about
its chemical weapons,”
Assad added. He said this
is “standard procedure”
and that Syria will stick to
it.
“There is nothing stan-
dard about this process,”
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry retorted in Geneva,
because Assad has used his
chemical weapons. “The
words of the Syrian regime
in our judgment are simply
not enough.”
Syria had long reject-
ed joining the Chemical
Weapons Convention,
which requires all parties
to the treaty to declare and
destroy whatever chemical
weapons they may possess.
Assad said the Russian
deal was a two-sided pro-
cess. “We are counting, first
of all, on the United States
stop conducting the policy
of threats regarding Syria,”
he said.
Syria’s Deputy Prime
Minister Qadri Jamil also

two men were inside the apartment
of Diane Page, the mother of the
child.
Cash asked Page what was going
not to attack Syria in the
future.
“We want a pledge that
neither it (the U.S.) nor
anyone else will launch an
aggression against Syria,”
Jamil said in Damascus.
But Kerry cautioned that
a U.S. military strike could
occur if Assad doesn’t agree
to dismantle his chemical
arsenal properly. “There
ought to be consequences
if it doesn’t take place,” he
said.
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov, however,
said the dismantling “will
make unnecessary any
strike against the Syrian
Arab Republic.”
Syria’s top rebel com-
mander, meanwhile,
slammed the Russian pro-
posal, calling for Assad to
be put on trial for alleg-
edly ordering the Aug. 21
attack. Many rebels had
held out hopes that U.S.-led
punitive strikes on Assad’s
forces would help tip the
scales in their favor in
Syria’s civil war, which has
claimed more than 100,000
lives so far.
Gen. Salim Idris’ state-
ment was broadcast on
pan-Arab satellite chan-
nels hours before talks in
Geneva between Kerry and
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov.
“We call upon the inter-
national community, not
only to withdraw the chem-
ical weapons that were
the tool of the crime, but
to hold accountable those
who committed the crime
in front of the International
Criminal Court,” Idris said.
He added that the Free
Syrian Army “categorically
rejects the Russian initia-
tive” as falling short of the
expectations of rebel fight-
ers.
The U.S. accuses Assad’s
government of being
behind the attack in the
suburb of Ghouta. The U.S.
says the attack killed 1,429
people; other estimates of
the deaths are lower.
Assad has denied respon-
sibility and accuses U.S.
officials of spreading lies

dence.

fans might be thinking
about the straight trip
down Route 11 South in
two weeks. The Spartans,
though, are concentrating
completely on what would
be a very crooked journey
on Route 11 North tonight.
Rival Berwick can wait,
Valley West coach Pat
Keating said, because the
7 p.m. game at Scranton
is pivotal to the playoff
chase.
from the (District) 2/4
part of the subregional
this will be our second
game,” Keating said. “We
play every 4A school here
in District 2. We had one
last week and we knew it
was important then. And
it’s even more important
now with Scranton being
2-0 and us being 2-0. It
kind of puts the winning
team in the driver’s seat as
far as heading through the
rest of the season for a 4A
position.”
Eight teams qualify for
offs — six from District 11
and two of the five from the
D2/4 bracket. Two of the
D2/4 teams — Delaware
Valley and Hazleton Area
— are winless and strug-
gling. Williamsport is 1-1,
but backslid with a poor
performance in a 25-0
loss last Friday to Mifflin
County.
That means tonight’s
winner will be alone atop
the D2/4 standings.
It also means the first
thought of Berwick
shouldn’t come until
“There’s no way you
can because this is more
important because of play-
off implications,” Keating
said.
To get the upper hand,
the Spartans need to stop

Alabama ready to fast-forward against Texas A&M
JOHN ZENOR
AP Sports Writer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick
Saban knows it’s become irrelevant whether fre-
netic, no-huddle offenses are what he wants col-
lege football to be.
In the case of No. 6 Texas A&M, they’re also
awfully hard to slow down.
That is the challenge Saturday for the top-
ranked Crimson Tide at the Aggies’ Kyle Field.
Preparing for this kind of uptempo offense was
a focal point for the Tide during the offseason.
Alabama (1-0, 0-0 SEC) was helpless against it
in the first quarter of last season’s loss to Texas
A&M (2-0, 0-0) before catching on and nearly
rallying from a 20-0 deficit.
The no-huddle offenses have become a staple
of the college game — whether Saban likes it or
not.
Southeastern Conference opponents
Mississippi, Kentucky and Auburn also run vari-
ations.
“There’s obviously some things you can’t do,
and you have to realize that you can’t do these
things,” Saban said. “I think we’ve all adapted to
it more and more because we play against these
teams more. When you play against it once or
twice a year, I think it’s a tough adaptation for
the players.
But we played against it eight or nine times
last year. We’ll probably play against it at least
that much this year, so it’s becoming more the
norm rather than the exception.
“I think that players should be able to adapt to
it more readily. I know that we’ve tried to prepare
our players for it more and more because you
always say, ‘OK, what did we see? How much did
we see it? How does our practice reflect that?’”
Saban caused a stir last October when he won-
dered aloud: “Is this what we want football to
be?”
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Auburn’s
Gus Malzahn, who runs his own variation of the
no-huddle, offered very different takes at SEC
media days about whether fast-paced offenses
present an injury hazard to defensive players
who can’t get relief from subs.
Malzahn said he initially thought that theory
was a joke and Bielema countered that he’s no
comedian.

York Jets heading into the fourth quarter Thursday
night.
After trailing by 10 points at halftime, when a tor-
rential rain began to fall, Geno Smith led New York
on a third-quarter touchdown drive. Starting for
the second straight week in place of injured Mark
Sanchez, Smith ran for 16 yards to move the Jets
into New England territory. He then brought them
to the 3-yard line to set up Bilal Powell’s touchdown
run that made it 13-10 with 5:05 left in the third.
Smith completed 12 of 23 passes for 159 yards
through three quarters, while Brady was 13 of 29
for 150 yards.
With longtime favorite receiver Wes Welker now
in Denver and his replacement, Danny Amendola,
out with a groin injury, Brady found Dobson alone
in the defensive backfield on the opening drive and
hit him in stride on his way to the end zone.
It was Brady’s 50th consecutive game with a
touchdown pass, four short of Drew Brees’ NFL
record. It was the first career catch for Dobson, a
second-round draft pick who did not play in Week 1

JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHICAGO — Joey
Logano defended his
place in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship
on Thursday, rattling off
his season statistics as
proof he earned his spot
in the 12-driver field
regardless of any help he
may have received in the
deciding race.
And make no mistake,
Logano said: If anybody
helped him at Richmond,
he had no clue.
The latest driver

NASCAR’s investigation
into Saturday night’s race
at Richmond, Logano
learned Wednesday that
radio traffic appeared to
show Front Row Racing’s
crew chief and spot-
ter talking about David
Gilliland giving Logano a
pivotal spot on the track
in exchange for some-
thing unidentified from
Penske Racing.
There’s nothing in

Thursday it is still look-
ing into the incident.

me. Obviously there is
no transcript on our
radio of anything said
about it (and) obviously I
would have known about
it if that was the case,”

State wants to follow again
on Saturday against 2-0
Central Florida.
“It’s still a work in prog-

have to execute better,
especially at the beginning
of the game.”
“Execution” has been the
buzzword around the team
this week as the Lions try
to avoid falling into an early
hole against the Knights.
Getting rid of those early
jitters and penalties would
be a start.
“That’s mainly it,” tack-

If it’s going to improve
on Saturday, it’s going to
be fueled by Smith and the
offensive line.
O’Brien wasn’t enamored
at how the offense took a
quarter to get warmed up
and establish a running
game. “We’ve got to do
better,” O’Brien said. “We
have to keep spending time
on it and we need to adjust
quicker to what they’re
doing (on defense).”
While saying he didn’t
want to single out the line
specifically, O’Brien did
say that the unit as a whole
needs to be more consistent
despite some good individ-
ual performances.
The Lions believe that if
the line stabilizes on first

Tennessee player left on the Couch for Oregon game

Trojans stay undefeated Alabama

TOM FOX
For The Times Leader
COVINGTON TWP.—
Sometimes, it’s really about the
little things.
Ask Crestwood head coach Mike
Williams, and he’ll admit that. He
also won’t deny North Pocono per-
formed the little details better than
his Comets.
In the end, it led to a Trojan vic-
tory.
Katlyn Ivanoff and Emily Cook
controlled the front line as North
Pocono executed the fundamentals
to near perfection as the Trojans
remained perfect in the Wyoming
Valley Conference with a 3-0 girls
volleyball victory over Crestwood.
Game scores were 25-17, 25-19
and 25-21.
“Fundamentals are the key aspect
in all sports, and that’s especially
true in volleyball,” Pocono head
coach Chris Summa said. “It was
a good win for us. We did some
nice things. Mike does a good job
at Crestwood, so you can’t take
anything away from them. We just
did the fundamentals a little better
tonight.”
The little things could really add
up to bite you.
The Comets struggled with the
back-line pass, which in turn, didn’t
allow the offense to flow effectively.
The ace-service error percentage
wasn’t too good, either. Crestwood
only had four aces in the match, but
committed a total of 12 errors.
No doubt, the serve-receive was
the main culprit.
“That was our biggest prob-
lem tonight,” Williams said. “Our
defense was solid overall. We didn’t
and they used home court to their
advantage. They are well-coached;
I think Chris is one of the best
coaches in this league. His record
proves it.”
One sequence in the opening set
proves the point of how little things
add up.
Tied at 11, Crestwood (3-2) got
whistled for a foot-fault on the
serve. What followed were three
bad back-line passes, a net violation
and two setting infractions.
Just like that, an 11-all tie turned
into an 18-12 deficit.
For comparison purposes, North
Pocono (4-0) only had one service
error and three attack errors in the
opening set.
“We’ve been looking forward
to this game for a while. I was so
pumped and ready for this one,”
said Katlyn Ivanoff, who finished
with a game-high eight kills. “We
worked hard to get this win, and
we practice so hard. We want to
make an impact in the league, and
hopefully, see what happens when
districts come.”
The closest set down the stretch
was the final stanza. Up 21-20,
Pocono used back-to-back Emily
Cook kills, and a big block from
junior Mallorie Deschaine to end it
at 25-21.
“We have been mistake-prone
early in the matches. We’ve had
some success, but we’ve been too
mistake-prone. We were focused
and ready today,” Summa said.
“It’s a good win for our program.
Crestwood has been in the top
three in the league, and that’s an
area where we hope to be every
single season. It’s a good win, and a
stepping stone. But we have to take

Abington Heights (2-0)
at
Williamsport (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Abington’s Joe Repshis (74-23, 9th year);
Williamsport’s Kevin Choate (1-11, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Abington 42-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Williamsport leads 3-1
Quick Fact: Abington scored all 42 points in the first half last year.
Scouting Abington: The defending D2-3A champion has yet to allow
a point this season. Saturday’s 17-0 victory over Dallas was a solid but
not spectacular performance. QB J.C. Show and WR Nate Hollander
exploited the middle of the Dallas defense, but the run offense could
have been better. The defense is a bit ahead at this point.
Scouting Williamsport: Coming off a victory that snapped a 12-
game losing streak, the Millionaires went bankrupt in a 25-0 loss to
Mifflin County. RB Isaac Foust was bottled up after a strong opener,
finishing with 36 yards. There was a revolving door at quarterback,
something that looked solved in the opener.
What To Expect: Key game for Williamsport, which can start another
early-season freefall. A win isn’t necessary, but a better effort
definitely is.
- John Erzar
Carbondale (2-0)
at
GAR (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Carbondale’s Larry Gabriel (17-28, 5th year); GAR’s
Paul Wiedlich Jr. (29-10, 4th year)
Last Meeting: GAR 20-19 in 2012
All-Time Series: GAR leads 1-0
Quick Fact: GAR stopped a two-point conversion pass with 15
seconds left to preserve last year’s win.
Scouting Carbondale: The Chargers defeated Riverside 26-0 last
Friday and have outscored their two opponents 60-0. The caveat
is that neither foe is expected to be very strong this year. So the
jury is still out on how good Carbondale really is. The Chargers are
a run-oriented team, but the rushing numbers haven’t been overly
impressive considering the competition.
Scouting GAR: Teams can get away with mistakes and poor
tackling against lesser opponents. GAR found out what the two
mean against a powerhouse last Saturday night as it was run over
48-7 by Dunmore. The only touchdown came via punt return as the
Grenadiers lost the yardage battle 495-151.
What To Expect: GAR is probably a better team than it showed in
its first two games, while Carbondale probably isn’t as strong as its
record indicated. Still, the Grenadiers will be in a battle once again.
- John Erzar
Hanover Area (1-1)
at
Lakeland (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Hanover Area’s Ron Hummer (35-44, 8th year);
Lakeland’s Jeff Wasilchak (139-58, 17th year)
Last Meeting: Lakeland 34-15 in 2012
All-Time Series: Lakeland leads 4-2
Quick Fact: Hanover Area RB Brian Belcher rushed for a career-high
142 yards when the teams played last year.
Scouting Hanover Area: The third quarter proved to be the
Hawkeyes’ downfall last Friday as they surrendered 20 points in a
54-40 loss to Lackawanna Trail. The offense was a welcomed sight
for Hanover Area, which struggled to score in 2012. It had three
rushing and two passing touchdowns. The defense, after a strong
performance at Mid Valley, reverted to its 2012 form, though.
Scouting Lakeland: Lakeland put on a nice second-half rally vs.
Valley View last Friday, but couldn’t hold the lead and fell 26-21. RB
Chris Roche hasn’t been able to get moving yet, averaging less than
3 yards per carry. Keep an eye on Jeff Burton, the linebacker not the
NASCAR driver. He has 35 tackles through two games.
What To Expect: Hanover Area, winless in 2012, is still a young
team so uneven performances like last Friday are expected. If the
Hawkeyes from Week 1 show up, this could be an entertaining game.
- John Erzar
Hazleton Area (0-2)
at
Delaware Valley (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Hazleton Area’s Jim Drumheller (5-17, 3rd year);
DelVal’s Keith Olsommer (87-69, 14th year)
Last Meeting: DelVal 49-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Hazleton Area leads 5-3
Quick Fact: DelVal hasn’t started a season with three consecutive
losses since 2000.
Scouting Hazleton Area: The Cougars dropped their eighth in a
row last Friday, falling 26-16 to Coughlin. The running game never got
going and the passing offense was plagued by a couple costly drops.
The defense gave up at least 370 yards for the second time.
Scouting DelVal: The Warriors played better in Week 2, but still fell
35-12 to Wyoming Valley West. They trailed 21-12 late in the third
quarter. RB Lex Rosario rushed for 72 yards, but the passing offense
– a staple to last year’s D2-4A title team – is still very much a work
in progress.
What To Expect: A long day in school followed by a very long bus
trip won’t make it easy for the Cougars to return to Hazleton with a
victory.
- John Erzar

Holy Cross (0-2) Lake-Lehman (1-1) Meyers (1-1) Montrose (0-2)

at
Northwest (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Holy Cross’ Josh Watters (0-2, 1st year); Northwest’s
Carl Majer (35-23, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Northwest 41-0 in 2012
All-Time Series: Northwest leads 3-0
Quick Fact: Holy Cross had just 48 yards of offense in last year’s
game.
Scouting Holy Cross: The Crusaders lost their 14th in a row
Saturday, falling to Holy Redeemer 44-20. There were some good
signs as RB Tom Ware (78 yards) led a trio of runners with at least
60 yards on the ground. And Holy Cross led 8-6 at halftime. Moral
victories no doubt, but the program needs some before it breaks into
the win column. The Crusaders have allowed 101 points thus far.
Scouting Northwest: Majer is back after serving his two-game
suspension and is raring to go. From afar, he said he doesn’t think his
Rangers have played their best football yet. Two victories by four and
five points support that theory. WR Nick Long had a pair of TD grabs
in the 12-7 victory over Susquehanna last Saturday, but the offense
failed to score in the second half.
What To Expect: Northwest is finally at home and should be pumped
to put up some big numbers on the scoreboard tonight.
- John Erzar
at
Wyoming Area (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Lehman’s Jerry Gilsky (19-15, 4th year); Wyoming
Area’s Randy Spencer (31-27, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Wyoming Area 49-14 in 2012
All-Time Series: Wyoming Area leads 26-6
Quick Fact: Lehman won the regular-season meeting 15-14 in 2012.
Wyoming Area won the rematch in the D2-2A playoffs.
Scouting Lehman: The Black Knights did what was expected,
bouncing back from a tough loss to roll Montrose 60-0 last Friday.
WB Joey Vigil rushed for 160 yards on seven carries, all in the first
half. RBs Dustin Jones and Brady Butler and QB Josh Sayre each
added at least 50 more. Montrose, one of District 2’s weakest
programs, managed just 37 yards of offense.
Scouting Wyoming Area: The Warriors enter off a 29-14 loss to Mid
Valley. The offense managed just one TD and has two all season. RB
Jeff Skursky provided some tough running, but the wait is on for
others to become playmakers. That might take time. The punt team
allowed another score, this time a safety on a bad snap. The defense
has been OK but nothing special.
What To Expect: Three losses won’t kill Wyoming Area’s chances of
defending its D2-2A title. But the Warriors need to pick it up the pace
sooner than later. That probably won’t happen tonight.
- John Erzar
at
Lackawanna Trail (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Meyers’ Corry Hanson (9-14, 3rd year); Trail’s Steve
Jervis (46-60, 11th year)
Last Meeting: Trail 35-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Trail leads 3-0
Quick Fact: Trail piled up 428 yards of offense in last year’s game.
Scouting Meyers: Meyers scored on a 90-yard TD run by QB Matt
DeMarco in the first quarter and then everything went black in a
49-6 loss to Old Forge last Friday. The rushing attack, Meyers’ staple,
averaged 2 yards on its other 24 carries. The passing game lost
yardage when it tried. Meanwhile the run defense was shredded for
10.8 yards per carry.
Scouting Trail: The Lions are positioning themselves as the dark
horse for the D2-A title, right behind Dunmore and Old Forge. They’ve
received incredible balance from the offense so far, including in last
Friday’s 54-40 win over Hanover Area. QB Vic Mallory has thrown the
ball well, while a trio of backs has been strong. But allowing 40 points
to Hanover Area – a team not expected to have a strong offense – is
troubling.
What To Expect: Trail isn’t as strong as Old Forge, but has enough
firepower to make it a tough night for Meyers. The Mohawks need to
forget last Friday and play to their capabilities
- John Erzar
at
Tunkhannock (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Montrose’s Russ Canevari (2-20, 3rd year);
Tunkhannock’s Rod Azar (3-19, 3rd year)
Last Meeting: Tunkhannock 28-18 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tunkhannock leads 9-6
Quick Fact: Tunkhannock QB Brian Beauchemin’s only completions
in last year’s game were for TDs of 51 and 60 yards.
Scouting Montrose: Montrose is still looking for its first points of
the season after being pummeled 60-0 by Lake-Lehman last Friday.
The Meteors have been shut out in five of their last 11 games. There
were no bright spots on either side of the ball in the Lehman loss as
Montrose was outgained 485-37.
Scouting Tunkhannock: After playing Coughlin tough in their
opener, the Tigers backslid in a 35-0 loss to surprising West Scranton.
A turnover and blocked punt led to a 21-point second quarter by
the Invaders. A laundry list of mistakes prevented the offense from
gaining any continuity. RB Ryan Cywinski finished with 41 yards and
has yet been able to get going.
What To Expect: A sputtering Montrose squad is the best medicine
for Tunkhannock, which should be able to take control by halftime.
- John Erzar

Pittston Area (0-2)
at
Crestwood (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Pittston Area’s Mike Barrett (6-16, 3rd year);
Crestwood’s Greg Myers (49-49, 8th year)
Last Meeting: Crestwood 14-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tied 5-5
Quick Fact: Faulty lights postponed last year’s game. It was played
the following afternoon.
Scouting Pittston Area: The Patriots once again played well in
the first half against a quality opponent. But once again, the game
slipped away in the second half as Scranton eased away for a 34-18
victory. RB Kyle Gattuso is coming off a career-high 122 yards on the
ground as the running game is showing life. The line needs to pass
block better as it allowed six sacks last Friday.
Scouting Crestwood: The Comets shook off a Week 1
embarrassment at Berwick to defeat slumping North Pocono 40-21.
RB Tanner Kahlau has been one of the WVC’s biggest surprises,
while RB Frank Aigeldinger had 111 yards vs. North Pocono. The pass
offense has made a cameo thus far. The defense was much better
last Friday, but the opponent was much weaker.
What To Expect: The hardest game of the week to predict. It could
come down to which team makes the fewest miscues.
- John Erzar
Valley West (2-0)
at
Scranton (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Valley West’s Pat Keating (33-14, 5th year); Scranton’s
Mike Marichak (34-22, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Scranton 34-14 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tied 7-7
Quick Fact: Valley West surrendered TD runs of 56, 63 and 80 yards
in last year’s meeting.
Scouting Valley West: The Spartans disposed of Delaware Valley last
Friday 35-12. The numbers looked solid, with RB Eric Acosta gaining
133 yards and QB Mike Baur tossing for 152 more. WR Mike Sands
nabbed a pair of TD passes. But the effort, according to Keating
afterward, was uneven. They can’t afford any slips tonight.
Scouting Scranton: The Knights were supposed to be down from
2012, but it doesn’t look that way yet. RB Jake McCarthy recorded
his second 200-yard game in a 34-18 victory over Pittston Area. QB
Jake Pieczynski continues to throw the ball well. The defense, though,
needs some tightening up.
What To Expect: An excellent game that could go either way. The
winner has a big upperhand for a D2/4-11 Class 4A playoff spot.
- John Erzar
Nanticoke (1-1)
at
Susquehanna (0-2)
1 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Nanticoke’s Ron Bruza (12-19, 4th year);
Susquehanna’s Kyle Cook (0-2, 1st year)
Last Meeting: Nanticoke 10-0 in 2012
All-Time Series: Susquehanna leads 2-1
Quick Fact: Nanticoke recorded seven sacks in last year’s contest.
Scouting Nanticoke: The Trojans routed Col-Mo Vo-Tech 48-0
last Friday, with RB Pat Hempel showing his versatility. His 99-yard
interception for a touchdown ended a 33-point second quarter. But
the big gaffe was Nanticoke being penalized 13 times. The Trojans
can’t afford such mistakes against better opponents.
Scouting Susquehanna: The Sabers are a whisker away from being
2-0. They managed just 115 yards vs. Northwest last Saturday yet lost
only 12-7. So it could be a matter of everyone getting on the same
page with the new coaching staff. QB Austin White led the team in
rushing and passing vs. Northwest. The defense has been leaky vs.
the run.
What To Expect: Coaches often point to Week 3 as the game they
get a good handle on their team. That fact could be pivotal on
whether the long bus ride home is a happy one for Nanticoke.
- John Erzar
Old Forge (2-0)
at
Holy Redeemer (1-1)
1 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Old Forge’s Mike Schuback (91-40, 12th year);
Redeemer’s Pat Reece (4-8, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Old Forge 56-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Old Forge leads 4-0
Quick Fact: Old Forge set a school record with 56 first-half points the
last time the teams played.
Scouting Old Forge: Old Forge topped Meyers 49-6 last Friday,
stifling another running attack. Now the Blue Devils need to stop
the throw-first Royals. They saw 28 passes in their first two games,
an amount they’ll surly see tonight. It shouldn’t matter. Old Forge’s
ground attack – led by 6-foot-2 Brandon Yescavage – will be too
much for Redeemer.
Scouting Redeemer: Redeemer had another big day throwing the
ball in last Saturday’s 44-20 win over Holy Cross. The bigger news
is the rushing game has shown some punch as well. The Royals will
always be a throwing team, but countering with some runs can only
help. Unfortunately, the run defense was not very stout and will be
tested throughout by Old Forge.
What To Expect: The game of the year in the Lackawanna
Conference is next week – Old Forge at Dunmore. Old Forge won’t let
the Royals come close to wrecking the anticipation.
- John Erzar

Berwick (2-0) Western Wayne (1-1)

at
Dallas (0-2)
2 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Berwick’s George Curry (425-92-5, 44th year); Dallas’
Bob Zaruta (7-6, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Berwick 28-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Berwick leads 11-4
Quick Fact: Berwick defeated Dallas 50-14 during the 2012 regular
season. The last meeting was in the D2-3A playoffs.
Scouting Berwick: The Dawgs rolled another opponent, smoking
Pottsville 56-7. RB Dain Kowalski had three TD runs, but Berwick
hasn’t opened the throttle yet on the running game. That’s because
QB C.J. Curry and WR Andrew Force are putting up crazy numbers.
The defense has its swagger back, holding the Crimson Tide to
minus-1 yard rushing on 27 carries.
Scouting Dallas: The Mountaineers failed to score once again, being
shut out 17-0 by Abington Heights last Saturday afternoon. There
were a couple bright spots on offense, but the unit is still devoid of
a solid playmaker. A huge red flag was how Abington exploited the
defense via pass between the hashmarks. A repeat performance will
yield disastrous results vs. Berwick.
What To Expect: The Dawgs have a huge game next week against
rival Wyoming Valley West. As long as they’re not looking ahead too
much they should leave the Back Mountain as big winners.
- John Erzar
at
Coughlin (2-0)
7 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Western Wayne’s Don McDonough Jr. (1-1, 1st year);
Coughlin’s Ciro Cinti (42-37, 8th year)
Last Meeting: Coughlin 31-28 in 2012
All-Time Series: Coughlin leads 1-0
Quick Fact: Coughlin won last year’s game with a 25-yard field goal
with 15 seconds to play.
Scouting Western Wayne: The Wildcats were trampled by Scranton
Prep 49-0 last Friday, with their defense being victimized via ground
and air. The offense, obviously, didn’t do much. RB Jayson Figueroa
makes things happen for the Wildcats. He has 435 yards rushing –
averaging 11.2 per carry – and stopping him will be the key. As for
passing, there’s nothing here to see as Western Wayne has thrown for
38 yards this year.
Scouting Coughlin: The Crusaders bounced Hazleton Area 26-16
last Friday. QB Tim Pilch had the best statistical game of his career,
although his stats were modest in general. Three receivers – Darik
Johnson, Dave Parsnik and Tom Mitchell – all contributed. RB Paul
Cole was a bull as usually. The defense did a solid job, but wasn’t on
the field much. Coughlin ran 69 plays on offense compared to 34 by
Hazleton Area.
What To Expect: Prior to the season, the matchup would appear to
be a battle of grind-it-out teams. And it still might be. But Coughlin’s
ability to mix in the pass effectively enough could be the difference.

on Thursday night to avoid a three-

Myers drove in Evan
Longoria, who also doubled
off Rubby De La Rosa (0-1),
to give the Rays a 4-3 lead.
Jake McGee (5-3) pitched
a scoreless eighth before
Fernando Rodney got three
outs to earn his 34th save for
the Rays, who lead the race
for the second AL wild card
despite going 5-13 since Aug.
25.
David Ortiz and Jarrod
Saltalamacchia homered
for Boston, which has an
8½-game advantage over
second-place Tampa Bay in
the AL East.
The Red Sox threatened
in the ninth when Stephen
Drew had an infield single
and pinch-hitter Mike
Carp walked with one out.
Rodney worked out of the
jam when pinch-hitter Will
Middlebrooks lined out to
third and Dustin Pedroia
popped out.
Oswaldo Arcia homered
for Minnesota, which has lost
six of eight.
In winning his fourth
straight start, Griffin (14-9)
struck out eight and walked
just one batter.
Making his first start since
being recalled from Triple-A,
Minnesota starter Scott
Diamond (5-11) allowed five
runs — four earned — in 4
2-3 innings.
He struck out six of the
first nine batters he faced,
including four straight, and
lowered his opponents’ bat-
ting average to .165 the first
time through the lineup, the
lowest mark in the majors
among pitchers with at least
130 innings pitched.
Other than allowing Arcia’s
homerun in the seventh,
Griffin, who has served up
a major league leading 34
homeruns, didn’t have many
problems the rest of the way.
Minnesota had two run-
ners on with one out in the
fourth, but Arcia lined out
a 2.41 ERA.
The left-hander barely
broke a sweat in retiring the
A’s in order in the first two
innings before the Oakland
hitters forced Diamond deep
into counts.
One day after scoring
18 runs against the Twins,
Oakland used some two-out
hitting to take a 4-0 lead in
the third inning.
Angels 4, Blue Jays 3
TORONTO — Garrett
Richards pitched 6 2-3
innings for his third straight
win, Kole Calhoun hit a solo
home run and Los Angeles
beat Toronto to complete a
three-game sweep.
Erick Aybar had two hits
and scored twice as the
Angels won for the 15th time
in 20 games and improved
to 12-2 in their past 14 road
contests.
Calhoun went 2 for 3 with
a walk to help the Angels
win for the 10th time in 13
meetings with the Blue Jays.
